[SuSE Linux] trashing SiS6326 for 3d card
What pci video cards support 3d for linux? I'd like something with opengl support!!!!! I am trashing my SiS 6326 card finally. It is the worst video card that I've had the displeasure to own. For god sake don't buy anything by SiS. I was blaming linux for crappy drivers and I'm sorry it's just the card tha is crap. I even tried it with <cringe>win98</cringe> and it is strewn with errors. I did get it to work with linux but no 3d dupport (it can't do it) and the odd things that happened under <cringe>win98</cringe> were ridiculous. What pci video cards support 3d for linux?

I know the feeling , you get to piont you just give up and trash the card.

two versions PCI and AGP Diaomond Viper 550 (v550) comes with 16 meg of ram , two veersions , oem ( $85 -100- no s connecter on the back , and the retial boxed version with the s connector on the back ($100-125) . box says the following (I do not know if linux suports all of this) 128 bit power for 2d/3/ and Vidio 128 bit RIVA TNT Twin Texal Grapgics engine nVidia Riva TNT Real easy to set up . just plug it in ( Make sure its seated well and still seated when you tighten the screw) fire up yast , go to vidio and choose the driver for Diamond V550 , set up you prefrences and save and startx Works real nice , went fine fist time round beats the other card by a mile
support 3d for linux? I'd like something with opengl support!!!!!
Thank you

Then you are currently pretty limited. Hardware-accelerated 3D is still under heavy development. Voodoo-based Cards are the only real option. If you want a fast 3D card for MS Windows and a reasonable card for XFree, I would recommend one with the nVidia Riva TNT like the Diamond Viper 550 or the Elsa Erazor II.

I just upgraded my video card to a Diamond Viper 550 16 meg PCI card, and it fast as hell. I could not believe how much faster X is with this card. I would recommend it to anyone who can't go AGP at this time. I am not upgrading my X86 box, because I am buying an Ultra10 for a workstation and using my X86 Linux box as a server on my soon to be installed DSL line :) As it stands this is my machine and I am quite happy with it.

If you think X is fast for you now, go download the x server Riva released yesterday. It is significantly faster at 2D for me....and it supports OpenGL (MesaGL). The OpenGL isn't optimized yet, but supposedly when XF86 4.0 is released making direct access to 3D hardware, OpenGL should be significantly faster. Rick Thompson

Over all this machine is very fast ( tweaks ) and I guess it will do :)
